REGISTRATION ENDS MAY 4

Birdie Bash 2014

It's new! It's different! And it's fun! What is it? It's the inaugural LDGA Birdie Bash disc golf event. It's not your traditional disc golf tournament. This will be a 36 hole tournament that rewards birdies and aces. Pars don't happen because you only get 2 throws per hole. Empty your bag because you only use your 2 new Vibram discs.

Do I get to pick my discs?

Yes and no.You pick a driver or mid-range.You pick a putter.X-link Medium or Firm.You pick the weight.(Substitution may occur due to limited supplies)

Why do I have to Pre-register?

Pre-registration is required because we have to order the discs that you select and also the shirt size that you want. Vibram will try to honor all disc orders but due to limited supplies of discs you may not get exactly what you request.

What are the scoring rules for a Birdie Bash event ?

Aces count 5 points.Birdies count 2 points.Metal hits (basket, chains, band or pole) count 1 point.(If no points are scored on a hole, the closest to the pin after two throws earns a point.)

Should beginners play?

Absolutely! This is a great way to get two high quality discs and enjoy a day of low pressure, high fun discing. Also, the second round groups are put together based on first round scores and the winner of each group in the second round gets a bonus prize. So everyone will have a chance to win something!

Are there different divisions or age restrictions?

There are no age divisions in a Birdie Bash but there are 2 divisions, male & female. All players (age 18 or older) must sign a waiver/registration form to participate. Participants under age 18 must have a parent/guardian sign the waiver. Blank waivers will be available at the Birdie Bash sign-in or a copy of the waiver can be printed, signed and brought to the event on May 10. Click here for the waiver.
